wAh, Halloween. For whatever reason you may like it, it never fails to be a great holiday. And with all holidays comes one of my favorite parts: special episodes of our favorite TV shows. Whether they're scary, just a solid episode of a great show, or sure to instill plenty of nostalgia, here are ten Halloween episodes to watch to get you in the spooky mood this October.
10. The Fairly Oddparents: "Scary Godparents" (Season 2, Episode 24)
A true classic in the ranks of early 2000's Nickelodeon cartoons.
9. The Office: "Koi Pond" (Season 6, Episode 8)
The Office Cast + Halloween Costumes. Can't go wrong.
8. Any Episode of Courage the Cowardly Dog Ever
I'm still genuinely confused by the fact that this show was legitimately intended for children.
7. The Suite Life of Zack & Cody: "The Ghost of Suite 613" (Season 1, Episode 19)
Don't try and lie and say this episode didn't freak you out when you were ten. ESTEBAN HELD A SEANCE AND GOT POSSESSED. That was not chill.
6. Sabrina The Teenage Witch: "Good Will Haunting" (Season 3, Episode 6)
Sabrina already had more than enough paranormal activity going on in her life; we can only assume it would get even crazier on the scariest night of the year.
5. Friends: "The One With The Halloween Party" (Season 8, Episode 6)
Just for reference, Ross is dressed as "Spud-nik", a pun referencing the Russian satellite "Sputnik." And people ask why Ross is my favorite character..
4. American Horror Story: Freak Show - "Edward Mordrake: Part 1" and "Edward Mordrake: Part 2" (Season 4, Episodes 3 and 4)
In case you were worried that this season wasn't as scary, here's a couple episodes with a guy with two faces who recruits Freaks to kill and join his group of performers in hell every Halloween! Thanks, AHS!
3. That 70's Show: "Halloween" (Season 2, Episode 5)
Teenagers on Halloween doing exactly what you would expect teenagers to be doing on Halloween: exactly what they aren't supposed to be doing.
2. Spongebob Squarepants: "Graveyard Shift" (Season 2, Episode 36)
Without a doubt, one of the top five greatest episodes of Spongebob of all time. The fact that you still know what I'm talking about when I say "Hash Slinging Slasher" says it all.
1. American Horror Story: Murder House - "Halloween: Part 1" and "Halloween: Part 2" (Season 1, Episodes 4 and 5)
Yes, "American Horror Story" gets to be on here twice, and "Murder House's" Halloween episode is definitely deserving of the top spot. Just thinking about Tate whistling as he walks through the halls at his high school is enough to give me the chills. Happy Halloween!
